Question for the barrel owning community. I have a Cab-Syrah blend that will be turning 1 year old. I hit it with 90 gr of French and Hungarian medium+ Toast oak cubes for each 6 gal of wine. I also have a 2 year old OVZin, which I think I dropped 60 gr of oak/6 gal carboy. The OVZ is a little light and tart while the C/S blend is really spot on.
They’re both going to be shuffled after this year’s crush and I have about 16 gallons of each.
Here’s the question: would you barrel age either of them? I was thinking I might.
Suggestions please.
